"[Everything You Love Will Burn] is on-the-ground reporting about a new American reality. It is full of violence and hatred, and ultimately quite frightening to read."--The Progressive
"A terrifying, thoroughly reported look at newly empowered white-nationalist groups across the country, from Brooklyn to Tennessee, in a year that has seen racially motivated violence and demonstrations take center stage."--New York Post
"In this in-depth look at the growth of white nationalism, journalist Tenold presents a comprehensive portrait of supporters' beliefs, worldviews, and aspirations....A perceptive, if terrifying, look at the philosophies that persist throughout the United States, including an examination of their roots, and how they contribute to the viciously held beliefs of white nationalists."--Library Journal
"A penetrating portrait of the men and women who are trying to instill fear and terror in our community. Vegas Tenold has done a great service by exposing their toxic ideologies in this must-read book."--Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning
"Vegas Tenold has gone far beyond the comfort zone of most reporters to document the rise of America's radical right in the Trump era. His bone-chilling account of the white nationalist movement-based on extensive interviews with its leaders and chief ideologues-shows in painstaking detail how ideas that were once off limits have seeped into mainstream politics."--Sasha Polakow-Suransky, author of Go Back to Where You Came From
"Vegas Tenold has produced a timely, eye-popping account of the edgy and often violent world of White Nationalists. He's been crisscrossing the country going back six years-on the ground and in the trenches, from New Jersey to Tennessee, Maryland, Indiana and elsewhere-taking copious notes about supremacists in all their chaotic varieties. It's meant hanging with neo-Nazis, skinheads, Hammerskins and Klansmen-at his own peril. It's meant attending fiery cross-burnings and white-members only caucuses at roadside motels or backyard barbecues. He's interviewed crude-cussing, weapon-toting racists alongside articulate radical-right leaders claiming to simply be pro-white, not anti-black. Then came Donald Trump's election as president, when their collective chant became, 'This Is Our Time.' But is it? Tenold was there for all of it -- and for anyone wanting to untangle this dark, unruly sliver of Trump's web, Everything You Love Will Burn is a must read."--Dick Lehr, author of Black Mass and The Birth of a Movement
"Vegas Tenold's work is the best sort of journalism: immersive, insightful, and beautifully written. An indispensable guide for anyone who wants to understand what makes the far-right tick, why it's galvanized now, and where it's likely to be heading."--Jamie Bartlett, author of The Dark Net and Radicals Chasing Utopia
"Ever since Tocqueville, some of the keenest observers of American society have been foreigners, able to see what locals might take for granted. In this book, Vegas Tenold takes us inside the varied world of the extreme right. He gets us so close that we can see every pore of paranoia, every follicle of delusion, every unhinged ligament of logic-thus rendering them both more human and more terrifying at the same moment."--Michael Kimmel, author of Angry White Men
